The Use of Statistical Methods in Dimensional Process Control
Abstract
In shipbuilding, the stage of construction which lends itself to the most time and cost reduction is unit erection in the basin or on the ways. This requires all units to be complete and accurately assembled in order to eliminate costly rework during and after erection. To achieve this high degree of unit accuracy, we have begun a pilot dimensional control program that has set the guidelines for systematically monitoring each stage of the production process prior to erection. Through the collection and analysis. of data, we can take steps to control each process and insure that we are achieving our desired degree of accuracy. The cumulative effects of "fine tuning" each individual work process will ultimately lead to improvement in the dimensional accuracy of our completed units.
